THE hearing in the case of the Ando-
yer seminary professors, against whom
charges of heresy were brought, is in
progress at Boston before the board of
visitors of the institution. The Christian
Union is not inclined to attach much i'm
portance to the decision, saying:
What that decision is likely to be we
shall not venture to prognosticate; what
it ought to be it would be an impertinence
for us to say; whatever it is, the visitors
can decide nothing except the harmony
of present teaching with the old founda-
tion. If their decision should be favora-
BILE to the faculty, it would not indicate
that their teaching is in accordance with
modern theological faith or orthodoxy; if
it should be adverse to the faculty ii
would not indicate that their teaching is
antagonistic to modern evangelical theol-
ogy or heterodoXy.

THE latest about tariff legislation is "A

Gratis will aid Mr.. Morrison when he
tries to get his horizontal-reductiOn tariff
bill considered again, and that Randall

scheme an amendment repeating all in

that the movement for the abolition of
these taxes has considerable of back

The gentleman who was to preside al
the banquet of the Burlington CONNER
cial Travellers association, given in Bur-
lington last Friday evening, thought
it necessary to announce beforehand
through the local paper that no one
would be called up to make an after-dinner
speech except those who had received
notification. This proclamation gives
new insight into drummer human nature.
Either that individual is credited with
more cheek than he possesses, or else his
neck has potency only within certain
mits, as, for instance, that of insisting
on exhibiting samples when the man ap-
preached declares emphatically that he
doesn't want to buy anything. Or per-
haps it is only an indication of the ter
rors after-dinner speaking inspires, rec
objection of suffering from which at an
earlier stage of development is still vivid

PUBLISHERS NOTICE.

Beginning on the first day of April next we
shall require that all subscriptions to the REG
IsTER be paid in advance. On that date all
papers not paid in advance will be discontin
ucd, and thereafter papers will be stopped
when the time paid tor has expired.
We have tried the other plan faithfully, ana
are forced to the conclusion that il is not the
right way. About one-half of our subscri-
bers do pay in advance. The remaining half
whose subscriptions represent the profit OF
the business and great deal more, pay only
when they have been asked half a dozen
times, and perhaps not then. 1t costs more
than it comes to to collect their subscriptions.
The amounts are small, but, in the aggre
gate, stand tor IL considerable sum- which we
are entitled to and ought to have. Most of
this money due is in the hands of responsible
persons and yet ii i out of our control and is
of no use to meet our bills 1t may be paid
sometime, but in the meanwhile we must let
our creditors suffer or borrow money to pay
them and pay interest on it,
Every paper sent ont of an Office costs
money. The employees OF the office must be
paid weekly, the paper bills monthly. Any
one can readily see that when II subscription
runs for year or more we are lending the
subscriber so much cash. 1t is an unbusiness-
like way of doing business; ana we are sure
that our friends will see it in that light and
cheerfully fall in with the arrangement, the
propriety of which is so obvious.
We shall send every subscriber n statement
of account very soon, in order that there may
be no misunderstanding; and perhaps il may
he found best to publish list of those tarth
est in arrears, to whom bills have been re-
peatedly sent without result. Some of them
may not have received notice who can thus be
reached,

IMPORTATION OF EGGS.

In 1876 the United States imported
about five million dozen of eggs, but in
1885 the quantity had increased to sixteen
million dozen, representing money val
ue of two and a half millions of dollars,
every penny of which had to be paid in
gold coin. At this rate of increase we
should pay to foreign countries during
fifty years, for the single item of eggs AN
amount more than equal to the present
national debt. But the importation of
eggs must very soon cease. The discov-
cry of Sheridans Powder to make hens
lay, has already increased the supply of
eggs to very appreciable extent, and it
seems safe to assume that the continued
use of this powder will double the egg
product within five years. BY the per-
sistent and intelligent use of Sheridan's
Powder hens are made to lay nearly the
entire year and especially during the
season when eggs bring the highest price.
This fact has encouraged thousands of
people to go into the business who would
not otherwise have done so. 1t is not
necessary to have a farm to keep hens ON,
as many suppose. Hens may be kept
conveniently and protitably in large
and crowded city. In fact the whole bus
mess of poultry keeping has been reduced
to science during the last five years. |.
:. johnson & Co., of % Custom House
street, Boston, have recently published IA
valuable book on this subject entitled
"The Poultry Raising Guide" single
copy, 20 cents; they will send the book
and two % cent packs of Sheridan's Pow
der for GO cents, postpaid, or 2 IA
pound tin can for Sl.20. Within the COW
ers of this book one can find all the in

Seven Red Raiders.

Two more raids are reported to have been
made by the band of Indians, supposed to be
Apaches, who raided two or three ranches in
the Sabinal mining district in Mex co, 15O
miles south of Ell Paso, sometime ago.
The Indians were pursued at that time by
McGrew cattleman, from Corralitos ranch,
with party of seven, but the redskins es-
capped to the mountains. Three weeks ago
they attacked three Mexicans, killing two of
them. Last Thursday they attacked mining
camp. But two men were in thecamp at the
time, German named Schneidel and negro
and both escaped.
Schneidel is familiar with the Apaches,
having been chief signal officer Of General
Crook in the campaign agrinst Geronimo.
He says that the band of savages was COM
posed of five bucks and two squaws. Both
Americans and Mexicans in that locality are
satisfied the marauders are Indians A min
ing man from there says ''No one need fear
that we viii cry Indians when there are none. ="
On the contrary, any alleged Indian news is
sifted, and the man who brings it in is held
responsible for the truth of his report. Not
long ago man was thrown into jail there
for circulating false rumor Of an Indian
attack,

AN OLD MANS CRIME.
showers Again Confesses That He
Murdered His Grandchildren.

showers Again Confesses That He
Murdered His Grandchildren.
William Showers, the old farmer who has
been in Jail in Lebanon, Pa, since last May,
awaiting trial on charge of numbering his
two grandchildren, has made his second con-
fession of his crime.
His first he made few weeks ago in open
court, his case having been called for trial
and in the absence Of his counsel. In that
confession he declared that he had killed the
children at the suggestion Of his housekeeper,
who aided him in the crime, so that there
would be no impediment to his marrying the
housekeeper.
The other day the old man (he is nearly
seventy summoned Col. Seltzer to his cell
and made second confession to him. He
said the children, aged two and four years,
were illegitimate children born tohis daugh-
ter Sarah. He had always supported them.
Soon after the birth of the last child his
daughter married a notorious character
known as 'Huffnagle, the Cowboy Huffna-
gle and his wife were anxious to get Showers
out OF the way, and once his daughter at
tempted to poison him. After that Showers
drove Huffnagle from the house. Huffnagle
tried to kill the old man several times,
once bp placing dynamite cartridges
where he was working. Soon after that two
of the children died, followed by the death of
their mother. Then Showers wife died, leav-
ing him with the care of the two remaining
unfortunate grandchildren.
1t was hard for him to get any one to keep
house for him, and have the care of the chill
dren, so he tried to place them in different
almshouses, without success Finally, over
whelmed with trouble, and believing it would
be better for his nameless grand children, he
killed them while they were asleep, and bur-
led their bodies in ditch, where they were
found. Showers does not charge his house
keeper with any knowledge Of the crime in
this confession.
